If you're near Union Square, this is where you want to grab a brew. And while you're there, be sure to check out the oldest urinals in New York (don't worry, they've cleaned them regularly).
If you like Belgian Beer, then this is your spot. Grab a pint and head out to their outdoor garden. Also serve cheese & meat plates. Great place to just chill.
Grab a beer here during the week to escape the crowds! Definitely come here for the great beer selection, but stay for the pretzels and spatzle.
Escape the weather and imagine yourself to be in Hawaii for a bit by going to Reunion and grabbing a tropical cocktail.
Aside from it being a great space in general, the thing I admire the most about The Counting Room is that the bartenders actually give a sh*t about mixing drinks. Impressive cocktails, fairly priced.
Best little pub on the Upper West Side. Best Guinness in NYC and with 17 other brews on the cleanest taps around. Good eats too. Great staff, locals + worldly travelers = for fun days and nights.
Unique Nautical-themed, out of the way tiki-bar that serves up kitsch, cheap beer, pretzel dogs and their specialty Rusty Knot.
Small underground (literally) candle lit bar with tons of specialty beers. Be sure to check out their bathroom!
This place is truly a hidden gem - a cozy Belgian beer bar with a vast array of beers on tap and an even more extensive bottled selection. We’ll definitely be back to enjoy the terrace on a sunny day.
More than 50 beers by the bottle and 28 on tap. Just make sure you know what you want, because the bartender is usually not to keen on helping you make up your mind.
My favorite bar in Williamsburg. Beer is cheap, the cocktails are strong, and the fries are to die for. ORDER FRIES!
This place is so awesome. Catch a band in the basement or sit in the library themed bar upstairs.
One of the best places to spend a hot summer afternoon. Grab a bucket of Coronas, order some food and enjoy the view!
A fantastic, constantly-rotating beer selection that runs 20 taps deep. Two casks, too. Keep track of your beer choices to become a member of the "Pony All-American" club. 100 beers gets you a shirt!
A great spot to test-drive beers in a sampler before you grab a growler. Check out their bottle selection in the coolers, organized by region from front (East Coast) to back (West Coast and Abroad).
Cheap beers and free hot dog, but make sure you stand outside to avoid the smells.
Throw down Pickle Backs (Whiskey shot w/ Pickle Juice chaser) at this massive adult rec room w/ shuffleboard, foosball, Buck Hunter, mini-basketball, and an Arcade Legends machine. Read more.
Outdoor space, booze AND boardgames?!?!?!? This place is a MUST if you are in the neighborhood. Zombie bowl is a little pricey, but definitely worth it ;)
Inexpensive beers, good-looking bartenders and a divey atmosphere make us keep coming back. Fido loves coming here too!
Best place to get a cocktail in Williamsburg. If you like Scotch, try the 'Smoke and Flowers' with peaty Ardberg. Enjoy!
A vast wine bar – get a table upstairs for more privacy, or outside when it’s nice. Try one of their flights of wine and definitely pair it with their Bar Snacks!
In the front room, you can have a drink while the big windows give you a view of the stage this venue also houses.
If you're there on a Friday night, order a whisky flight. Just $10 for 3 whiskeys - they're usually pretty good, and sometimes you get lucky and get to drink a $20 whisky for virtually nothing.
"Last night I had exactly one jargarita at sweet&vicious and went home, just as I planned!" -no one, ever
Formerly an actual candy store, this is a great place to hang out, grab a beer, and see a band. It’s hot, though, so dress light! – Piotr S.
If you want to grab a beer with friends and have a nosh, go here. -Eric Wolitzky, Top Chef Just Desserts
